I could use the mounting measurements for my original brake servo. The footwell panel has been replaced and there are no holes left to tell me exactly where it mounts. Can anyone give me some help?

Well Jerry, I am not much help with the dimensions. However, hopefully here is a helpful thought. First there were no holes on the original it contains Four studs secured to the foot well panel. So you might attach the mounting brackets to the servo and trial locate it on the panel. the drum should face the engine. when you are satisfied with a position, mark one of the bracket's holes on the bottom panel. Drill a hole at that location and put a bolt in place to anchor the servo. now locate the other holes and drill them. Go to the hardware store and get Four SS toilet mounting bolts. Install them from inside the car and bolt up the servo. If you have a welder you can spot weld the bolts to the floor inside. The flat heads of these bolts will minimise interference with the carpeting when it is reinstalled.---Fwiw--Keoke
 
I have some of those bolts and that would keep them flat on the inside of the car. Great idea. Although bringing out my welder sounds like a mess waiting to happen.

Naw, with a mig it should not make a mess and take only a minute. Just spot each one a couple of places on each side.---Keoke
